Make the reindeers: Make regular cake pops using the chocolate candy melts. You can adhere the antlers while the reindeer pops are still wet or wait until they are dry and then apply a small dab of chocolate to the head to glue the antlers on. Once dry, you can also add the eyes and noses by gluing. Then using the edible ink pen, draw the mouths and dot your eyes.

Make the Hats: Make a cone shape instead of a ball. Put in the freezer until firm. Then, holding the top part of the hat, dip the bottoms in white candy melts, insert the lollipop stick and set in a styrofoam block to dry. Once dry, dip the tops in red candy melts so that it meets where the white ends. Gently place the balls to the top of the hat while still wet. Let them dry. Then, use a toothpick to generously dab more white candy melts all around the bottom of the hat. While still wet, sprinkle the sugar crystals on.

Decorate the trees: Make a cone shape instead of a ball and insert the lollipop sticks as usual. Place in the freezer until firm. Dip the entire tree in green candy melts. While still wet, you can use a toothpick to create the branches. When the trees are dry, you can also use toothpicks to apply a drop of green melted candy to the tree in the places you want the ornaments to be.

Now, if you haven’t made the regular Cake Pops before, then read this Cake Pop How-to for help.

Adorable!!! I am loving how graphic the santa hats are. And I am a sucker for anything Christmas Tree related. I didn’t even think about doing cone shapes! Brilliant!

I know you are a busy lady, but I have a question. I have a version of the pops I was planning to make this year. Have you ever seen sprinkles in the shape of birds or of pears? If so where? (Do you see where I am going with this one?) I can probably pipe them, but it would be easier, if I could find some sprinkles or something to work with. Thanks so much!

I am wanting to make some cake balls for a cookie exchange party I am hosting….what do you think is the best combo? Cake and cream cheese or cake and frosting? Thanks!!! LOVE LOVE your reindeer! I was thinking about doing them, but I think they would be hard for a cookie exchange :(

What is a styrofoam block? I’d love to try to make all three of those! I made the Halloween cake balls…I used too much icing and ended up having to freeze them before rolling to make them easier to roll but I was actually pleased with my attempt! I’d love to try and make these ones, too–but I’ll def. have to do a run through before trying to make them for my daughter for her school party, lol! Thank you for your recipes! I wish you could just make them for me! :P

Bakerella! You are a genius. I love all of these designs. I’m tried making just basic cake pops last night and they came out great, but I think I made the balls too large. It’s hard for me to tell what size yours are in the photos. They look big, but I’m guessing they are more bite size? Is that right? I’m going to try and make all of these. They are just gorgeous.

these are really cute. well done. i had an idea for you. what about mini xmas puddings cake pops. could use fruit cake, dipped in choc, drizzled with white choc & topped with a red or green M&M? keep up the good ideas. i received my edible colour markers today. not sure what i'll do with them, but bought them after seeing your site!

You are the very best Bakerella! You never cease to amaze me. You are such a gift to us all. Well when I try your projects it just makes me feel like I cna do anything. Thank you. I love them all so much. Happy Holidays.

Had you posted a picture of the reindeer before? I bought things to make reindeer cake pops over the weekend… and these look exactly how I pictured in my head doing them! I wish I had already done mine so I could compare my own vision to yours! So cute! Good work as always! I also have a vision for christmas tree ornament popsin my head too… Maybe I will do those as well!Leah in Georgialeahw01@yahoo.com

That was my jaw hitting the floor! These are too stinkin cute! I love them all! And the best part is that they’re not too detailed that my 2 year old daughter can help. She wanted to help me with the halloween ones, but all she could do was stick the pumpkin stem. She’ll love it!!

I love, love, love these! I am making some today with my 5 children – can’t wait! My cake is in the oven right now. We are making them into Christmas ornaments with mini Reese’s baking cups and broken pretzel pieces on top for the ornament hangers. Thanks so much for these (and all your other creative)ideas! I can’t wait to make cake pops for all the holidays!

Bakerella … as usual, you amaze me beyond words. You are brilliant and so darn creative!!! I think my favorite ones are the Santa hats, though I love them all. You really, really need to write a “Cake Pops” book! I would preorder it!! :) Happy Holidays!

oh shoot…wish I had seen this before yesterday…I made some trees and candy canes very quickly for an event at church…will now have to do it your way…always better!! These are adorable!! I’m love love loving the rudolphs!!
